Key concept: Multiply by multiples of 10, 100, 1000 by multiplying by the non-zero digit first, then adding zeros.

---

6. Answer: (2) 90 000 [2]

Working:
7 200 000 ÷ 800 = 7 200 000 ÷ (8 × 100)
= (7 200 000 ÷ 100) ÷ 8
= 72 000 ÷ 8
= 9 000

Wait, let me recalculate:
7 200 000 ÷ 800 = 72 000 ÷ 8 = 9 000? No.
7 200 000 ÷ 800 = 7 200 000 ÷ 800
= 72 000 ÷ 8 (dividing numerator and denominator by 100)
= 9 000

But 9 000 × 800 = 7 200 000 ✓
So answer is 9 000, which is option (1).

Correction: Answer: (1) 9 000 [2]

Working:
7 200 000 ÷ 800 = 72 000 ÷ 8 = 9 000

---

15. Answer: 16 460 [2]

Working:
9 876 000 ÷ 600 = 9 876 000 ÷ (6 × 100)
= (9 876 000 ÷ 100) ÷ 6
= 98 760 ÷ 6
= 16 460

Check: 16 460 × 600 = 16 460 × 6 × 100 = 98 760 × 100 = 9 876 000 ✓

---

16. Answer: 196 000 [2]

Working:
Round 4 892 to nearest ten → 4 890
Round 39 to nearest ten → 40
Estimated product = 4 890 × 40
= 4 890 × 4 × 10
= 19 560 × 10
= 195 600 ≈ 196 000 (to nearest thousand, or keep as 195 600)

Note: The question asks to estimate by rounding each to nearest ten, so 4 890 × 40 = 195 600. Accept 195 600 or 196 000.

Key concept: Estimation by rounding makes mental calculation easier. Round each factor first, then multiply.

---

17. Answer: 1 380 [2]

Working:
7 200 ÷ (50 − 10) × 6 + 300

= 180 × 6 + 300 (division before multiplication, left to right)
= 1 080 + 300
= 1 380

Key concept: BODMAS - Brackets, then Division/Multiplication left to right, then Addition/Subtraction.

---

18. Answer: 85 018 [2]

Working:
Number = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder
= (25 × 3 400) + 18
= 85 000 + 18
= 85 018

Check: 85 018 ÷ 25 = 3 400 remainder 18 ✓

Key concept: Division algorithm: Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder.

---

19. Answer: 60 [2]

Working:
Total apples = 15 × 24 = 360
Number of bags = 360 ÷ 6 = 60

Alternative: 24 ÷ 6 = 4 bags per box, 15 × 4 = 60 bags.

---

20. Answer: 3 650 [3]

Working:
Let the two numbers be $x$ (larger) and $y$ (smaller).
$x + y = 8 500$
$x - y = 1 200$

Add the two equations:
$2x = 9 700$
$x = 4 850$

$y = 8 500 - 4 850 = 3 650$

Alternative (model method):
Sum = 8 500, Difference = 1 200
Smaller number = (Sum − Difference) ÷ 2 = (8 500 − 1 200) ÷ 2 = 7 300 ÷ 2 = 3 650

24. [5]

(a) Answer: 800 [1]
Working:
Lower primary = $\frac{2}{9} \times 3 600 = 800$

(b) Answer: 1 000 [2]
Working:
Remaining after lower primary = 3 600 − 800 = 2 800
Middle primary = $\frac{5}{12} \times 2 800 = 1 166.66...$

Wait, 2 800 ÷ 12 = 233.33, × 5 = 1 166.67. This doesn't give a whole number. Let me recheck.

$\frac{5}{12} \times 2 800 = \frac{14 000}{12} = 1 166 \frac{2}{3}$

This is problematic for a P5 question. Let me adjust the numbers mentally... Actually, the question as written gives a non-integer. In a real exam, numbers would be chosen to give whole numbers. Let me recalculate with the given numbers and note the issue.

Actually, 3 600 × $\frac{2}{9}$ = 800 exactly.
Remaining = 2 800.
$\frac{5}{12} \times 2 800 = 1 166 \frac{2}{3}$ - not a whole number of pupils.

This suggests the question has a flaw. But as an answer key, I'll show the mathematical working and note the issue.

Revised working for (b) and (c) with exact fractions:
Middle primary = $\frac{5}{12} \times 2 800 = \frac{14 000}{12} = 1 166 \frac{2}{3}$
Upper primary = 2 800 − 1 166 $\frac{2}{3}$ = 1 633 $\frac{1}{3}$
Difference (upper - lower) = 1 633 $\frac{1}{3}$ − 800 = 833 $\frac{1}{3}$

But pupils must be whole numbers. In a real paper, the total would be a multiple of 36 (LCM of 9 and 12). Let's assume the question intended 3 600 to work... Actually 3 600 ÷ 9 = 400, × 2 = 800. Remaining 2 800. 2 800 ÷ 12 = 233.33. Not divisible by 12.

Correction for answer key: I'll present the exact fractional working and note that in a real exam, numbers would be chosen to give whole numbers. But since this is the generated question, I'll provide the mathematical answers.

Actually, let me re-read the question: "There are 3 600 pupils in a school. $\frac{2}{9}$ of the pupils are in the lower primary. $\frac{5}{12}$ of the remaining pupils are in the middle primary. The rest are in the upper primary."

This is a standard "fraction of remainder" problem. The numbers should work out. 3 600 is divisible by 9 (400). Remainder 2 800. For $\frac{5}{12}$ of 2 800 to be whole, 2 800 must be divisible by 12. 2 800 ÷ 12 = 233.33. Not divisible.

Decision: I'll provide the exact fractional answers and add a note. In practice, the question would use 3 600 → change to 3 600? No, 3 600 is given. Let me check: maybe it's $\frac{5}{14}$? No, template says $\frac{5}{12}$.

I'll proceed with exact values and note the anomaly.

(b) Answer: 1 166 $\frac{2}{3}$ (or 1 167 if rounding, but mathematically 1 166 $\frac{2}{3}$) [2]
Working:
Remaining pupils = 3 600 − 800 = 2 800
Middle primary = $\frac{5}{12} \times 2 800 = \frac{14 000}{12} = 1 166 \frac{2}{3}$

(c) Answer: 833 $\frac{1}{3}$ [2]
Working:
Upper primary = 2 800 − 1 166 $\frac{2}{3}$ = 1 633 $\frac{1}{3}$
Difference = Upper − Lower = 1 633 $\frac{1}{3}$ − 800 = 833 $\frac{1}{3}$

Note: In an actual examination, the total number of pupils would be chosen such that all fractions yield whole numbers (e.g., 3 600 is divisible by 9 but the remainder 2 800 is not divisible by 12). A better total would be 3 600 → 3 600 is actually 36 × 100. LCM of 9 and 12 is 36. 3 600 ÷ 36 = 100. So it should work! Let me recheck: $\frac{2}{9} = \frac{8}{36}$. Remainder = $\frac{28}{36} = \frac{7}{9}$. $\frac{5}{12} = \frac{15}{36}$. $\frac{15}{36}$ of total = $\frac{15}{36} \times 3 600 = 1 500$. Ah! "of the remaining pupils" - so it's $\frac{5}{12}$ of remainder, not $\frac{5}{12}$ of total.

Remainder = $\frac{7}{9} \times 3 600 = 2 800$.
$\frac{5}{12} \times 2 800 = \frac{5}{12} \times \frac{7}{9} \times 3 600 = \frac{35}{108} \times 3 600 = 35 \times 33.33...$ = 1 166.67. Still not whole.

For it to be whole, total must be multiple of 108. 3 600 ÷ 108 = 33.33. Not a multiple.

Conclusion: The question as generated has a numerical flaw. I'll provide the exact fractional answers.

Marking (adjusted for fractional answers):

• (a) Correct: 1 mark
• (b) Correct method (remainder × fraction): 1 mark, correct value: 1 mark
• (c) Correct method (upper = remainder - middle, difference = upper - lower): 1 mark, correct value: 1 mark

25. [7]

(a) Answer: 100 000 cm³ [2]
Working:
Volume of water = length × breadth × height of water
= 80 cm × 50 cm × 25 cm
= 100 000 cm³

(b) Answer: 60 litres [2]
Working:
Total tank volume = 80 × 50 × 40 = 160 000 cm³
Volume of water = 100 000 cm³
Empty volume = 160 000 − 100 000 = 60 000 cm³
Litres needed = 60 000 ÷ 1 000 = 60 litres

(c) Answer: 30 minutes [3]
Working:
Water needed = 60 litres
Rate = 2 litres per minute
Time = 60 ÷ 2 = 30 minutes

Marking:

• (a) Correct formula and substitution: 1 mark, correct answer with unit: 1 mark
• (b) Correct total volume: 1 mark, correct conversion to litres: 1 mark
• (c) Correct division: 1 mark, correct unit (minutes): 1 mark, correct answer: 1 mark

COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID

1. Place value errors: Confusing hundred thousands with millions, or misreading zeros in large numbers.
2. Rounding: Forgetting to look at the next digit, or rounding the wrong place value.
3. Order of operations: Doing addition before multiplication/division, or not working left-to-right for same-precedence operations.
4. Fraction of remainder: Applying the second fraction to the original amount instead of the remainder.
5. Unit conversion: Forgetting to convert cm³ to litres (÷ 1000) or vice versa.
6. Estimation: Rounding after multiplying instead of before, or rounding to wrong place value.
7. Division with remainder: Forgetting to add the remainder back when reconstructing the original number.
